I think 4pots may give you a little to much stopping power, but hav'ing said that a mate has put porsche 4pots on his GTiR and they are cr4p, but they do look nice

Strange how he thinks the 4 pots are cr@p though

You could probably bring in the power to weight arguement into that Ryan, the 4 pots simply may work out to be to big/heavy or powerfull for the car as in the weight of it tyre size plus the braking system that is on the car may not work well, it may not be powerfull enough to work with the 4 pots. It's possible that the best thing to do would be to see what other small car set up's are out there it could be another brand caliper would work best with small discs, it could be that early 2 pots would work the best if they fitted and don't forget the rears as you need equal bias ideally between front and rear.

Ryan what about the brakes off a Suzuki Swift GTi I would imagine they would fit ok and I would imagine they would be uprated.

Pic Up Spares in Swansea are usually pretty good, give them a call you never know you might strike lucky.

Had a change of heart on the engine bay, wasnt fussed on the red as it was a bit too in your face :/
The red in the picture looks alot better than it did in real life, me and alot of other people thought it looked quite tacky.

From this:

To this

Shes now in steath mode

I prefer the stealth look myself, mind you there is plenty of room in that engine bay for an engine transplant in the future.
